Since so many of the party's positions now reflect those he ran on, he deserves that support, even if he is now a self-loathing member of the 1%

They just didn't seem to be the values of the other presidential candidate in the primary.

Clinton rejects single payer.

Clinton supports $12 not $15 minimum wage

Bernie enshrined those ideas into the platform at the convention and moved them from the fringe to the center. I don't think he claimed to invent them.

Of course, it's still anyone's race. And it's great to have to many good choices besides.
